Dude Ranch

Like any good dude ranch, Running-R Ranch is all about horses - but it's also all about you. Running-R will expertly hand pick one of 35 horses to fit your riding experience and preference. Lessons are tailored to your pace and taught by one of the wranglers. Guests typically ride two hours per day, but can ride up to five!

Family

Enjoy family time away from city distractions at Running-R Ranch in the scenic and refreshing Texas Hill Country. You'll wake up to a hearty breakfast, take a morning ride, and return hungry for a delicious lunch served buffet style. Spend the afternoon by the pool, hiking the property or visiting area attractions.

Nature

You won't be stuck in traffic here; in fact, you won't even hear or see it. Explore the rugged, yet picture-perfect landscape of Running-R Ranch's surroundings on horseback, mountain bike or foot. Hike through wildflowers in the spring, watch the birds and enjoy nights beneath a big Texas star-lit sky.

Cabins And Cottages

Running-R Ranch's western style cabins are appointed with handmade cedar post furniture, woven Indian rugs and more. Kick back on the front porch in the evening and watch the horses graze and the hummingbirds hover, or catch a glimpse of an armadillo amble by. Cabins sleep two to six people - rent a few for larger parties!

Guesthouse

These houses fit naturally into their surroundings with wood floors, Indian throw rugs and simple exteriors. A variety of lodgings fit any group's needs and the wandering wildlife viewable from the porch is delightful. The modern amenities include heat, air conditioning, towels and linens for your convenience and comfort.
